American Car Craft Camaro Cowl Hood Fade Graphic 2010-2013 Black - Manual (Page 3)

length and set the graphic from one center mark to the other. Work all the solution out to the
sides trying not to trap any air bubbles, as you work the graphic out to the edges you will be
confronted with several fingers formed in the graphic. The best and most sure way to work the
graphic to the edge is to shrink the graphic finger out to lay flat using a heat gun. It is very
important not to apply too much heat as this will tend to distort the vinyl and cause creases. Go
slowly shrink the finger and then gently set the edge of the graphic to the paint.
6. With the graphic nicely set onto the hood and header, carefully and skillfully slice the gap
between the hood and header. Try to slice the graphic directly at the center for the best look.
Once this is done pop the hood and then work the edges of the graphic to the adhesive
promoter applied earlier. Use a paper towel to absorb the solution as you set and dry this fold to
the paint using your heat gun again being careful not to apply too much heat.
7. Should any scuff marks be created to the graphic surface during the installation it is good to
know that your graphic can be buffed and compounded to remove light scratches and it is safe
to use a common scratch removing compound found at any auto part store. Allow 24 hour for
the graphic to set and dry. Do not use high pressure washers to wash the graphic area.
If any questions occur during installation please contact American Car Craft at 727
861-1500.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Allow 24 hours to set before washing. Never use a car wash with brushes.
DO wash your graphics with plain soap and water or any car wash soap. Rinse
thoroughly.
DO keep high-pressure nozzles at least 1 ½ feet from the edge of the graphic. High-
pressure spray may cause the edge of the graphic to peel.
DON’T use any aromatic solvents such as acetone, paint thinner, and lacquer thinner
on your graphics. Any solvent may soften or smear colors.
DON’T overcoat the graphics with clear paint.
DON’T let gasoline drip or stay on graphics for any length of time. If a spill occurs, wipe
off and rinse with water immediately.
DON’T apply wax over graphics, especially if the wax contains any petroleum
distillates.
